## The short answer

You can host an app on Antideploy and pay with UPI. The Free plan needs no card at all. Paid plans are in rupees, and every paid plan renews by autopay through Razorpay, by UPI Autopay or card. Apps run in Singapore, close to India and Southeast Asia. Go is ₹399 a month for 3 live apps, Pro is ₹1,999 for 9 and Scale is ₹6,999 for 20.

## What each plan costs

- Free: ₹0, with 1 live app with a server, unlimited static sites, 10 successful deploys a month and 1 Postgres database
- Go: ₹399 a month, or ₹3,990 a year, for 3 live apps and 3 custom domains
- Pro: ₹1,999 a month, or ₹19,990 a year, for 9 live apps and as many domains as you need
- Scale: ₹6,999 a month, or ₹69,990 a year, for 20 live apps and as many domains as you need

A yearly plan is two months cheaper than paying monthly, a saving of 17%. You can cancel from Settings, then Billing, whenever you like.

## Paying with UPI

Prices are in Indian rupees. Paid plans renew by autopay through Razorpay, and you can set that up with UPI Autopay or a card.

AI model usage is paid from a separate prepaid wallet. You top it up by UPI or card, from ₹100 to ₹10,000 at a time, and a 15% fee is shown before you pay. When the wallet is empty, the AI key stops, so there is no surprise bill. Pro and Scale include ₹100 of AI credit each month.

## Where your app runs

Apps and their databases run in Singapore, close to India and Southeast Asia. Each app is one instance and sleeps when idle, so the first request after a quiet spell takes a few seconds. See [what Antideploy cannot run](https://antideploy.com/blog/what-antideploy-cannot-run) for the full list of limits.

## Here's where it stops.

A platform that only tells you what it is good at is one you find the edges of in production. These are the ones to know before your first deploy.

### Apps sleep when idle

On every plan, an app nobody is using goes to sleep and the next visit wakes it. The first request took 2.9 to 13.9 seconds in our measurements, depending on the stack. There are no always-on workers, so use a cron job or a webhook for background work.

### One region

Everything runs in Singapore, with the database beside the app. Users far from Asia will see slower responses.

### One instance, no previews

Each app is one instance with 1 shared vCPU and 1 GB of memory, and a Java app gets 1 dedicated vCPU and 2 GB. There are no preview deployments and no per-branch URLs.

### Do I need a credit card to start?

No. The Free plan needs no card and has no trial clock.

### Can I pay yearly with UPI?

Yes. Plans can be monthly or yearly, and both renew by autopay through Razorpay.

### Is there GST on the prices?

This page does not state tax details. Check the pricing page and the checkout for what applies to you.

### What happens if I cancel?

Nothing is deleted and nothing goes down. If you are over the free limits when you cancel, your existing apps, databases and buckets keep running.

### Can I change plans later?

Yes, at any time. Your apps and data stay where they are while the plan changes.
